I was at the gym just a couple of days ago, and noticed one overweight individual - the look of discomfort in her expression, in fact, it was very obvious she was uneasy just being there.. but you know what? She was there anyway - exercising and finding her way through in what many still assume to be a male-dominated activity - exercising at the gym. Whoever she is.. I admire her for her determination.

It is with great sadness and emotions I write this post. The title speaks for itself, that Malaysia has decided to ban Yoga for Muslims. So yes, Malaysia has made another great backward step into caveman-ism by banning Yoga for Muslims. How typical. [click to continue...]

Lots has been happening this August - so here just a quick update so you guys still know I’m alive and kicking. Kicking HARD.
1. I’ve submitted my resignation letter to my current employer on the 18th of August and my last day is on the 17th of September, 2008. Finally - after almost 8 years of having worked in the IT Industry, I’m moving on to pursue a full time career in the Fitness Industry as a Personal Trainer, and have more time on my blog and the much overdue total re-design of this site.

I’ve been so overwhelmed with work - even tonight, I expect to be up at least until 2 AM. Doing this many nights in a row has even taken a toll on my personal life. It’s taken a toll on my sleep. It’s taken a toll on my workout routine. I haven’t been able to make it to the gym for the past week.
Oh hey - it’s part and parcel of life that moments like these happen - but I must say that it sucks. They say that life’s like a roller-coaster - but why am I in one that only goes faster and higher - never slowing down.
It sucks that I can’t find the time to blog. It sucks that I can’t do the very things that stir me.
Yet in the midst of all this madness, I managed to study, and sit for my American Council on Exercise Personal Trainer Exams a couple of months ago - and am proud to say that I am now a certified Personal Trainer. :)
I miss sharing my passion. I miss venting out my frustrations. I miss coaching. I miss educating. I miss supporting. I miss teaching. I miss exercising. I miss helping. I miss blogging - and I miss you guys.
Amidst my busyness - I have still read every single comment on my site, and every single email you guys have sent. Thank you everyone for understanding, and fanning the flames of my passion.
I will be back really soon - bigger, more passionate - and better than ever. And a bit less emo than this too. Heh heh.
God bless.
Your friend and coach,
